Book Synopsis
This international collaborative project on G. W. F. Hegel''s philosophy includes contributions by eighteen scholars of 18th to 20th century philosophy. It will be an essential reference tool for students and scholars of modern philosophic thought in general and of 19th century German thought in particular. The first part of the volume examines Hegel''s early writings up to and including the 1807 Phenomenology of Spirit. The second part is devoted to Hegel''s major mature works and lectures as well as to the primary themes of his system of philosophy. It opens with a comprehensive account of Hegel''s Science of Logic followed by detailed treatments of the Philosophy of Nature and the Philosophy of Spirit from the Encyclopaedia of Philosophical Sciences. Three further parts of this volume investigate key concepts and interpretive issues, paradigmatic forms of Hegelian argumentation, and main lines of Hegel''s influence since the mid-19th century. The volume contains

Trade Review
This is a complete introduction and systematic discussion of Hegel’s system written by competent and renowned Hegel scholars from many countries. The chapters treat each part of the system – Phenomenology, Logic, Philosophy of Nature and Spirit, State, Art and Religion – in a lucid and truly enlightening way. Hegel’s revolutionary insights are shown to be of high relevance for many modern questions in epistemology and ontology, rational theology or social philosophy. Clearly among the best and most helpful introductions and discussions of Hegel ever published. -- Ludwig Siep, Professor at Westfälische Wilhelms-Universität Münster, Germany
An artfully-organized and exceptionally well-chosen collection of essays by leading North American and European experts in the field. An ideal source and reliable guide for anyone undertaking a study of "the whole Hegel." -- Dan Breazeale, Professor of Philosophy at University of Kentucky, USA
This is a fine collection of essays by first rate scholars from eight different countries and an impressively wide range of philosophical backgrounds. The essays, which are both scholarly and accessible, shed valuable light on Hegel’s system, important themes running through this system (such as negation and mediation), the challenging forms of argument deployed by Hegel, and his extraordinarily rich influence on subsequent generations. This immensely informative and thought-provoking collection will be welcomed by students and specialists alike. -- Stephen Houlgate, Professor in the Department of Philosophy, University of Warwick, UK
Summing Up: Recommended. Upper-level undergraduates through researchers/faculty. -- M. Donougho, emeritus, University of South Carolina-Columbia * CHOICE *
…an exquisitely compiled collection of intellectually challenging essays on Hegelian philosophy. It is a thoroughgoing overview of a difficult author, one that may be enjoyed more by those familiar with Hegelian philosophy than those who seek an entry point to Hegel. -- Thomas Klikauer, University of Western Sydney * Philosophy in Review *
